Another image inspired by a recent re-reading of Iain M. Banks's superb 'Consider Phlebas'. This time we're in a so-called 'smallbay' in the humungous GSV (General Systems Vehicle) 'The Ends of Invention', where 'Kraiklyn's Free Company' - aboard their ship the 'Clear Air turbulence' - have docked prior to some nefarious activity....

The Clear Air Turbulence subsequently left abruptly and most impolitely, turning on its main drive inside the GSV and then burning it's own exit through the hull to the outside, somewhere 'underneath' Vavatch Orbital [link] .
